DOUBLE TROUBLE - UFO SIGHTINGS HIGHEST IN A YEAR
The purpose of these files is to report the UFO eyewitness and photo/video
evidence that occurs on a daily basis around the world and in space. This
week's files investigate: Double trouble from Hurricane "Isabel" and
Yellowstone Super-Volcano Threatens. Venuswas habitable for billions of
years, Maine - multiple flashing lights, New York - large disk shaped
object over NYC, New Jersey - light in orbit around a larger light, Florida
- three lights in triangle with the Titan 4 rocket, Tennessee - disc shaped
video, Ohio - flying triangle, Wisconsin - bright white light moving faster
than a jet, Louisiana - strange lights confirmed, California - disk that
stood still, Washington - red cylinders and lights, Canada - large increase
in sightings and abduction, England - silver cigar, Netherlands - black
object, Croatia - photos of two UFOs also cigar seen, and in Jordan - a
strong strange light passed above my car. Chilean Air Force general chases
UFO in his F-5 fighter.
DOUBLE TROUBLE - HURRICANES BOIL AND VOLCANO MAY ERUPT
According to the National Hurricane Center "Isabel" is dangerous and
remains just below category 3 strength with maximum sustained winds
recently reported by Air Force reserve hurricane hunter aircraft near 105
mph with higher gusts. This makes "Isabel" a category 2 hurricane.
Fluctuations in strength are possible during the next several days. It is
thought "Isabel" is headed for the East Coast and me.
YELLOWSTONE SUPER-VOLCANO THREAT - Dr. Bruce Cornet and others are warning
that an eruption of a volcano could occur. Volcanologists calculate that in
parts of Yellowstone the ground has risen over seventy centimeters this
century, and parts of the park are now off limits to tourists. Scientists
have revealed that Yellowstone Park has been on a regular eruption cycle of
600,000 years. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago so the next is
overdue. The next eruption could be 2,500 times the size of the 1980 Mount
St. Helens eruption. Fish are floating dead in the streams, and the lake is
closed. There is a very strong smell of sulfur that is often a sign of the
impending eruption of a volcano. Animals are migrating out of the area and
new geysers and mud pots are springing up daily. Ground temperature often
reaches 200 degrees and earthquakes are occurring regularly.

VENUS - HABITABLE FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS (WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS?)
The hellish climate of Venus may have arisen far more recently than
previously supposed, suggests new research. If so, pleasant Earth-like
conditions probably persisted for two billion years after the planet's
birth - plenty of time for life to have developed. Venus is virtually the
same size as Earth and, on average, is our nearest neighbor. Today, its
atmospheric temperatures are hot enough to melt lead and concentrated
sulfuric acid continuously drizzles down from thick sulphurous clouds that
block out the Sun. But, the planet once had a climate similar to Earth's
and vast oceans of water. Planetary scientists agree that period ended when
Venus lost its water due to a runaway greenhouse effect.
The best estimate, calculated by Jeffrey Kargel, of the US Geological
Survey, was this happened four billion years ago. However, new work by
David Grinspoon, at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado,
suggests the momentous transition may have occurred much later. Clouds
reflect sunlight back to space and therefore cool a planet's surface, and
Grinspoon's preliminary calculations indicate that the effect can be
dramatic -- keeping the atmosphere 100 Kelvin cooler than without them.
Grinspoon says the difference could mean that oceans and pleasant
temperatures may have persisted on Venus for at least two billion years.
This also suggests that another global transformation on Venus about 700
million years ago, in which the whole planet's surface appears to have
melted and reformed, may actually have been a continuation of the same
greenhouse warming that dried out the planet. Once the water was lost,
Grinspoon says, plate tectonics would have stopped completely, and with it
the most efficient way for the planet to shed its internal heat. This could
have led to a buildup that eventually caused the whole crust to melt and
then reform. If this analysis is right, it means that the "habitable zone"
for planets around other stars may be much wider than has been assumed,
since Venus had been thought to be far outside it. Grinspoon presented his
work at the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences
Meeting. Thanks to David L Chandler, Monterey
MAINE MULTIPLE FLASHING LIGHTS OVER A LONG PERIOD
CARRABASSET VALLEY -- Three hikers decided to take the half mile hike up to
North Horn to watch the sunset at the Bigelow Preserve on September 6,
2003. In the northeast a flash of light caught their eyes at 8:30 PM.
Flashes got more frequent and they all saw them 10 to 15 miles out against
the shadows of the next ridgeline. The random flashes were very bright
alternating between blue/white and orange. At first, they thought they were
explosions from military testing but this was ruled out knowing that the
fire risk was too high. The lights most certainly were not planes or flares
as the flashes varied in intensity. The flashes were roughly over the
Appalachian Trail. The witness states, "Among the flashes we could make out
a red antennae like object that was not flashing, but glowing." My two
friends thought they also saw small objects in the sky being illuminated by
the brighter flashes. After 15 minutes or so we were more than a little
freaked out and decided to make the half-mile descent back to camp.

NEW YORK - LARGE DISK SHAPED OBJECT OVER MANHATTEN
BROOKLYN -- On September 8, 2003, at 10:35 PM, a large disc was seen moving
at a moderate speed across the sky above lower Manhattan. The body of the
craft had a very dim luminescent glow and a small flashing light at the
left end. The craft was flattish, but with a curvature on top, like an
upside down dinner plate. It seems to be flying, near the Brooklyn and
Williamsburg bridges. The disc was still there at 11:30 PM, near the JFK
Airport. Personnel in the tower and planes should have seen it. The UFO had
a flashing rear light, a white light in the top center moving in a circular
motion on the crown. There is an orange-reddish color to it and there was
an upward tilt at the front of the craft. It changed shape as it flew back
and forth, and had an elongated disk shape to it.

NEW JERSEY LIGHT IN ORBIT AROUND A LARGER LIGHT
SPRINGFIELD --This was a normal night, on August 31, 2003, when a couple
and friend were outside and noticed an object in the sky that looked like a
hot air balloon, but it was all lit up and moved much quicker than a hot
air balloon. On the bottom of the object was a blinking light. It moved too
quickly to be a hot air balloon or blimp, nor was it in the shape of a
blimp. I said it must be an UFO! They laughed. I said, "Well it is an
unidentified flying object."
BEACH HAVEN TERRACE - The observer was looking at the sky on September 8,
2003, at 11:30 PM, and observed a brownish/red star (Mars) in the west. The
strange thing about this was that a light at times circled around the
planet object, Later it moved left to right and right to left. This light
was a bluish/white. The object itself appeared to be moving with the orbit
of Mars.

FLORIDA - THREE LIGHTS IN TRIANGLE WITH THE TITAN 4 ROCKET
CAPE CANAVERAL -- A Titan 4 rocket was launched at 00:29 hours on September
9, 2003, carrying classifed lit for about 1/2 a minute longer then went out. The long flames
were about two inches long and move about 1 ft across the sky before they
went out. the front dot was almost connected to the flames for about 10
seconds before drifting away from the 2 flames. I watched the event for
three minutes.
PUNTA GORDA - The observer watched an object in the sky for about five
minutes on the southern Gulf Coast of Florida. We thought it was a plane at
first but it was too bright and it had a comet like tail.... the object
then flared a red color and split into two pieces, one flared again and
disappeared the other continued in a bright glow with a tail then flared
red and fell straight down also disappearing.
FORT LAUDERDALE -- My fiance, her mother and a physician were driving north
on I 95 when we all saw a large trail of light as if fire was being left
behind moving east. We pulled off the highway to take a picture. The object
then lost the trail and 3 lights appeared. Two were very bright orange the
other a fainter white. These lights appeared to hover in a triangular
formation fainting again into the clouds. My fiance's mother made an
interesting comment that at the age of 15 she saw a similar event over her
country of birth, Argentina.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Seven sightings occurred around the time of launch of the
Titan 4B missile into a cloud layer shortly after lift off. Some witnesses
in Tampa, Clearwater, and Port St Lucie, 125 miles away, reported seeing
three lights, not one rocket launch pattern. This might be explained by two
massive 112-foot solid rocket boosters and a two-stage liquid Aerozine-50
and nitrogen tetroxide main engine that boosted the rocket further east and
into space. A liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen Centaur upper stage was to
boost the cargo into its proper orbit. Several witnesses said, "the object
was hovering for several minutes." We have the possibility that cloud
layers, distance, and the night launch of several missile stages caused the
witness's misperception. However, there is also a possibility that other
craft were present. The Tallahassee sighting may have been a UFO moving
into position prior to launch, since UFOs are frequently seen in the
vicinity of missile launches.
OHIO - FLYING TRIANGLE SIGHTING
SEAMAN, ADAMS COUNTY -- Kenny Young was contacted on the Cincinnati UFO
Hotline to report a tremendously large object seen around midnight of
September 13, 2003. Mandy, a 21-year old along with her Mom, her sister
and one of her friends saw a huge object off Route 32. They observed a
triangular-shaped formation of lights on one large object, the lights
flashed in sequence and would simultaneously alternate in color from
pinkish-red, blue, white to yellow. There were 4-or 5 lights on the outer
edges of the triangle facing downward that flashed as a row of lights. The
flashing effect was vastly different than the twinkling of a star. The
colors would change in unison, all red or all yellow, etc., and would flash
along the outer edge of the object in a slow sequence at first, then the
flashing sequence escalated in speed after several minutes into the
sighting. The UFO was not quite as big as a full moon, and it hovered
above Belfast for almost an hour at an elevation less than 45 degrees
above the horizon. Her mother, who is skeptical about UFOs, decided to
have her report the object because it seemed to be so unusual. Both her
sister and her friend are skeptical about UFOs, but could not identify the
object.. Coyotes were heard howling ridiculously loud during the sighting,
and also the previous evening.

WISCONSIN - BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT MOVING FASTER THAN THE JET.
CHIPPEWA FALLS -- It was a very clear sky on September 3, 2003, at 5:00 AM,
I had just sent my daughter off to college and I stood alone in the
driveway observing the stars, when I noticed a commercial jet on its way to
the St. Paul/Minneapolis Airport. It was using the east to west flight
corridor. An object appeared from the west that was a very bright white
light moving faster, but lower than the jet. It flew directly over my head
with no sound and flew northeast in less than a minute.

TENNESSEE - DAYLIGHT DISC VIDEO
BRISTOL - Kim Shaver video taped a disc on August 2, 2003, that was
witnessed by his entire family. The object was first observed an estimated
altitude of 6,500 feet at 7:45 PM and descends. Video is being uploaded to:

LOUISIANA - STRANGE LIGHTS
BROUILLETTE -- Andrew Griffin writes, "I forwarded my story to you
regarding the strange lights witnessed by many on August 28, 2003. I got
another call from a credible witness saying he saw the same lights in the
community of Brouillette, between 9 and 10 p.m. when most of the sightings
in south and southwest LA took place. The distance between Brouillette and
Moss Bluff, Louisiana is 100 miles. The gentleman I interviewed, also,
mentioned that this object went toward the southeast, not the southwest
toward Lake Charles, and he is positive it was not a helicopter. He was
convinced it was a UFO. Thanks to Andrew Griffin/The Town Talk
CALIFORNIA - DISK THAT STOOD STILL.
RIVERSIDE -- My Father-in-law saw a bright light in the sky from the
freeway on September 7, 2003, at 9 PM. He kept watching it for over ten
minutes as it slowly moved over a small mountain near March Air Force Base
looking like a very bright light bulb. It started hovering and looked like
a satellite dish in shape that had a halo around it. It didn't look like
any normal plane or any other object he's seen.

WASHINGTON - RED CYLINDERS AND GIANT GREEN BALL SHOT DOWNWARD
FEDERAL WAY - A couple was taking an evening walk on September 3, 2003,
when they saw a very bright lights moving speedily past them at 9 PM. It
was a black triangle with three or possibly more bright lights. We thought
it was a plane until we noticed it was moving backward it took two or three
turns and then started rising and eventually moved out of sight.
<A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
SEATTLE - An hour later, another witness was walking his dogs in Northgate
and saw two distinctly red oblong luminous objects moving northwest across
the sky at a high angular velocity at 10 PM. They were very bizarre in
appearance, and maneuvered, relative to each other and disappeared behind a
nearby building, The witness quickly returned to his residence and drew a
picture of what he had just witnessed minutes earlier.

EASTERN CASCADES - Cliff Mickelson writes, "Last week, red lights were over
Los Angles; my neighbors and I have been watching them up here for over a
year now." We, also, witness nighttime military traffic including the
flying triangle. I live 25 miles from the nearest town on a small farm in
the Eastern Cascades. My home sits on a hill and we have seen enough to
make a believer out of anyone! This summer my neighbors, kids, and I
watched them every night. They usually appeared several hours after
sundown, but rarely after 3 AM. These objects fade and sometimes
brightening considerably. Other times they cross the entire horizon at
incredible or more moderate rates of speed. Some objects exhibit a single
white glowing light with radiant luminescence. An entire group at the
reservation gather each night near Mt. Adams, to watch. The highlight of
the year was watching a military jet try to catch one. Large groups of
stationary and semi-stationary objects flash blue, red, green and white.
These lights vary in intensity from one minute to the next. Beginning two
years ago, these objects have increased until they fill every quadrant. I
have very little use for the desk bound opinions of professionals who fail
to come and look. I can guarantee you that you are on to something big!

CANADA - LARGE INCREASE IN SIGHTINGS - CYLINDER
SAKINAW LAKE - Brian Vike writes, The witness who owns a summer home on the
Sunshine Coast reports that on August 7, 2003, she took her star gazing
gear in a peddle boat out to the middle of the lake. She states, "I usually
stay out for a couple of hours and watch the shooting stars before peddling
home." At 10:15 PM, I spotted a shooting star that streaked across the sky
heading south then stopped, and split into four lights which formed a
square with a light in each corner. It stayed in the square formation for
four seconds before it changed forms again. Two lights stayed in place
while the other two moved slightly away, then stopped. The four lights
together looked like a rectangle and stayed this way for a few seconds.
Then the two lights that moved to form the rectangle shot off northward,
like parallel shooting stars, while the other two lights only separated
slightly and remained stationary.
ENDERBY BC --On August 28th, 2003, around 8:30 PM, my sister and I went for
a walk and saw a medium sized hovering white light in the sky. Then not
even in a blink of an eye it went from medium size to big, then to very
tiny and started moving very fast. It confused me and frightened her.
BARRIERE, BC - A fellow telephoned to say he heard Brian on CIFM Radio
talking to a witness about a sighting she and a large number of others had
on September 3, 2003,. He said, "I saw something move very strangely at
11:10 PM, and have that object on video. The radio witness says, she saw a
huge cylinder shaped craft flying very low, that was larger and longer than
any aircraft! There were bright white lights that looked like windows
running down the full length of a long tube. No sound was heard. Their cat
went nuts when the object passed by
KELOWNA - At midnight on July 31, 2003, two ladies decided to go star
gazing at an isolated area off the side of a back road. They were out of
the car a minute as Pat shined her flashlight into the sky and they saw
three white stars in a triangle shape that started moving together. The
lights changed to a neon green and the object flew to a position just ahead
of their car. Pat shined her flashlight down the road and spotted something
which frightened them - five sets of eyes were staring from fighter
aircraft, but no tail or wings are evident.

JORDAN A STRONG STRANGE LIGHT PASSED ABOVE MY CAR
AQABA -- I was driving home from Aqaba on a desert road south towards Amman
on September 2, 2003, at 2:15 AM. It was so dark that you can hardly see a
car at this hour. Suddenly I saw a very strong white light coming from
behind in my mirror. The light was so bright; I could hardly open my eyes.
It kept coming closer and closer so fast. The car shook as it passed over
my car and I almost lost control as it passed. I have never seen any thing
that fast in my life. I wasn't able to see the shape of the object as it
disappeared so fast. I didn't hear any thing but the sound of strong wind
just like the sound of a storm. <A HREF="www.nuforc.org">NUFORC</A>
CHILE - FORMER AIR FORCE COMMANDER CHASED UFOs
General Hernan Gabrielli described his 1978, UFO encounter to Alejandro
Guillier stating: "We were flying two F-5s, dual training craft, and we
were returning to base from Mejillones to Antofagasta. I suddenly detected
a radar fault and saw a line that ran side to side on the scope, and my
student, Danilo Catalán, also detected the same, and curiously enough it
was the ground radar, which has a large screen, that also indicated a radar
fault. At that time we looked toward [the part of the sky indicated on the
radar screen] and we saw that UFO.
It was visualized as a smoke-covered, half-deformed banana, that was very
large and in plain sight. It was tremendously large and surrounded by a
fumarole, which moved, in our same direction and at the same speed as our
aircraft. We approached it carefully. We were heading back from Attack 1,
which is a combat tactic involving gun cameras, no cannon, missiles or
anything else. So we approached it with caution. The UFO did not go away,
so we arrived in an instant at the same altitude, between 30,000 and
35,000. The F-5 fighter covers 10 nautical miles a minute, (20 kilometers a
minute).
Alejandro Guillier: And this object you saw, how fast did it vanish?
Hernan Gabrielli: Unimaginable, in other words, thousands of nautical miles
a minute, because it vanished toward the west suddenly and the screen
cleared up. In other words, all three radar screens--the ground radar, mine
and Danilo's -- were operating normally. It wasn't just a visual experience
but a physical one as well, one that materialized on the screen. I haven't
the slightest idea, where they come from. At that time there was also
another sighting by a pilot near Calama, in a Vampire aircraft. Vampires
were wooden aircraft, and the fighter climbed to a high altitude but could
see from below that the UFO didn't move. However, as the pilot climbed, he
said, he could never reach it. They later sent out a pair of fighters, then
an F-5 and nothing, really. They climbed to fifty something thousand feet,
and had to turn back but they never reached it.
Alejandro Gabrielli: And by the descriptions you recall, general, was there
any similarity with the sighting you had in Antofagasta?
Hernan Gabrielli: No, because this one had another shape, it had a
shape...in other words, as though looking from below upward, the pilots
flying at the time said it was triangular. This was 1978, and latest thing
around was the Mach 3, SR-71, U.S. spy plane. This thing did not move.
Alejandro Guillier: Now, why does the FACH [Chilean Air Force] handle all
of this with such secrecy, because it has in fact appeared before Congress,
before parliamentarians, and everyone was deathly silent...there were no
such things. All they do is create more concern, because one says: "Well,
there must be something awful that the FACH, the senators and the deputies
don't want to discuss," and in this case they were all quiet.
Hernan Gabrielli: Look, it's not that there's an unwillingness to talk, but
since it is an almost intangible piece of information it cannot be handled,
it cannot be processed. The base commander is informed and then the page is
turned and normal activity resumes.
Alejandro Guillier: Last weekend in Calama, a LAN airliner was flying with
the players of the Wanderers team for the big match against Cobrelola and
the pilot was forced to make a spectacular turn, diving to avoid a
collision with a UFO. Supposedly, there was no airplane there.
